Maybe your school, work, or a client requires you to use OneDrive. What are you to do on Linux, except use the web version of OneDrive? I never realized so many people used OneDrive on Linux but apparently, it’s quite common. So today, we will be installing OneDrive on Ubuntu 22.04. We will install both a console version and a GUI version of OneDrive. If you’re tired of using the web version or just curious about setting it up, this guide is for you. ...
Python Flask is a small web development framework written in Python. It allows you to create web applications quickly and easily by providing useful tools and features. You can use it to create a website, a web service, or even a simple web page. It’s easy to learn and use, making it a popular choice for beginners and experienced developers alike. Personally, I love Flask. You can quickly spin up a website using the Jinja2 template engine or create a web API to query a backend database or other web API. ...
You may have seen the term immutable OS thrown around lately and wondered what it is and what is means. While an immutable OS isn’t exactly new, they have become more popular in recent months. So let’s break down what exactly an immutable OS is, how it can benefit you as well as the potential drawbacks of using one. Simple Description of an Immutable OS An immutable operating system is pretty much like an unchangeable one. Imagine a computer system that once it’s set up, can’t be altered or modified in any way. It’s like a locked box that can only be opened with a specific key, and once it’s open, you can’t change anything inside. This type of operating system is great for security purposes since it prevents any unwanted changes or tampering. Plus, it makes it easy to revert back to a previous state if something goes wrong. So, if you’re looking for an ultra-secure operating system, an immutable one might be the way to go. ...
Let’s be honest, there are tons of web hosting providers out there who all claim to be the best, the fastest, or offer the most extras. Trying to weed through all of the providers and all of the opinions of folks on YouTube and blogs isn’t easy either. It will likely leave you feeling cheated or confused. So I’m going to throw my hat into the ring of who is the best web hosting provider for WordPress using my own experience with 3 different providers. The option I’m going to give you isn’t just the best hosting provider for WordPress sites though, you can host all sorts of sites or servers. Maybe you have a guess of where I’m going here. ...
If you have been using redirected desktops or some form of mandatory profile in your on-prem Active Directory environment using GPO, you may ask yourself how you will manage desktop icons and shortcuts in Intune? This was a question I faced myself, how can we easily control what icons and shortcuts a user see’s on their desktop of fully Intune managed devices? It’s actually not that hard thanks to the work of Florian, who runs the scloud blog. Let’s go over the implementation and how you can use this to manage the desktops of your Intune devices. ...
https://youtu.be/-F1IF9kybbU Many organizations could import the hardware hash of their existing endpoints using SCCM or other automated means because the endpoints were already running Windows. However, in some cases, this wasn’t possible because the devices were not running Windows at the time, which was the case for my organization. We wanted to use Autopilot when converting from the old Linux solution to the new Windows Azure AD/Intune solution. To do this, we needed an automated solution for collecting the hardware hash and importing it into Intune. So this was the start of a journey to find a good solution. ...
Intune makes a lot of things really easy, but some things are just easier with GPO. Adding or changing registry keys for the current user in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive is one of the things that was far easier with GPO than it is in Intune. I’m really going to miss the days of OnPrem AD, OU’s, and GPO’s. Sad times we live in, or maybe I’m just old and frustrated with Microsoft. ...
What is Docker? Docker is a platform and tool for building, shipping, and running distributed applications. It allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into a portable container, which can be run on any machine that has Docker installed. This makes it easy to create, deploy, and run applications in a consistent environment, regardless of the host operating system or infrastructure. Docker vs Virtual Machines ocker and virtual machines (VMs) are both technologies for running multiple isolated environments on a single host, but they work in different ways. ...
There comes a time in every Window’s engineers life when they need to deploy a scheduled task to hundreds or even thousands of endpoints. Unfortunately, if your company has moved to Intune for endpoint management, this deployment isn’t as obvious and straightforward as it could be. Luckily, it isn’t terribly hard to do and it certainly isn’t impossible. So today, we will break down the steps to deploy a scheduled task with Microsoft Intune. I have used this same method on multiple occasions and it has worked every time. ...
Flatpak’s are great, they make installation of applications and their dependencies on Linux easy. Flatpak is already a part of some Linux distributions but EndeavourOS, Manjaro, and Arch do not have them enabled by default, so today we will walk through how to get up and running with Flatpak on these distros. Why are Flatpak’s Great? I will keep it simple here and give a better explanation in the next section. Simply put, Flatpak’s are great because of compatibility, ease of use and security. They also make a developer’s life easier too. ...
